It’s every college student's worst nightmare: finals. You took notes on every word the professor said, bought the class textbook, looked at every quizlet out there and you are still feeling stressed.

With that being said, there are organizations on campus for everyone. Whether you are interested in joining a sport, joining the Anime and Video Game Club, or joining the Business Management Club, there are various types of organizations and clubs for eve...

Farmingdale Fusion is a Bollywood dance team that emerged on campus about three years ago. Since then, the team has flourished and made big strides in doing shows, holding events, and engaging people to join the team. As you hear the name you would imagine that only people with a South Asian background would be able to join, but no, the team is open to anyone and everyone.
I have been with the team since the beginning. Sarah Khan, who is also a Rambassador, is the founder of Farmingdale Fusio...

Language is classified as the ability to obtain and use patterns of communication, which is called linguistics. It’s used to inform a person how another person feels and that lets us not only understand but also question what we already know or don’t know. As far as language goes, English is spoken in nearly every other country and is spreading more, worldwide, as we speak. (Ha get it?). Learning an entirely different language broadens your horizons and also expands your overall knowledge of the...

As a college student with no money and the drive to never be home, I was always conflicted on what I could do that was cheap and kept me out of the house for a while. Living on Long Island can be even more of a problem with most things being just a little too expensive. Although there are places that hold events certain nights of the week, like Two Dollar Tuesday bowling or Dave and Busters half prices games on Wednesdays. There isn’t a lot to do any day at any time but that was until ...

The dental hygiene program is a fast-paced program. You have two years to complete your associates degree and if you want, you can move on to complete your bachelors degree. Due to the short time in the program the work load is intense. For this current semester, I am taking eight classes. While taking those eight classes, I am involved with Rambassadors, the RAM program, and Love Over Hate. This semester I have spread myself out too thin. At first it was difficult managing everything, but I hav...
